Continuous monitoring through applied questionnaires for students, faculty, and alumni—covering aspects such as interdisciplinary training, infrastructure, faculty performance, advisor/advisee interactions, coordination, support from the administrative office, authored and co-authored publications, and participation in research groups and project-facilitates assessment aimed at maintaining or restructuring procedures.

The Program Self-assessment instruments include both objective and open-ended questions designed to capture respondents' perceptions of the program. The system maintains the confidentiality of users, ensuring that their identities remain undisclosed to protect the integrity of their responses. Regarding the methodology, the assessment encompasses a set of activities including planning the assessment process, developing the assessment instruments, engaging the community and raising awareness about the assessment moments, administering the assessment tools, collecting and analyzing the results, preparing detailed reports for each assessment phase, and delivering feedback. This methodology integrates clear objectives, strategic approaches, methods, techniques, assessment instruments, analytical frameworks, data collection frequencies, timelines, resource allocation, implementation teams, and provisions for Meta- assessment.

Meta- assessment integrates both formative and summative information to evaluate the effectiveness of the PPGEAHC in identifying its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The formative assessment focuses on determining the appropriateness of the program's implementation, while the summative assessment conducts an in-depth analysis of various stages through a meticulous examination of the processes and outcomes involved.

The Meta- assessment Committee is comprised of a distinguished group of internal and external evaluators, including Dr. Rosangela Patriota Ramos, Dr. Maria da Graça Nicolleti Mizukami, Dr. Cristiano Camilo Lopes, Dr. Herom Vargas Silva—Productivity Scholarship—and Dr.Lucia Helena Poletti Bettini.
